I made the mistake of thinking 10 cbt sessions and i would be done...I would be healed,,,WRONG. I have now had about 50 but my thinking is totally changed....every thought I now have is countered with a better way to think about things...changing the negative thoughts to positive as much as that is possible. I have been in therapy for i think 4 years and i am doing better...that being said...I have more good days than bad days and even with the crisis i am dealing with in my own personal life, I am dealing with it....one year ago I might have fallen totally apart. Realizing that we can and do learn to live in a different manner. It is a disability so we have to learn to live a totally different way and i know I am...I am still working on processing things as well as learning to deal with every day life and it is exhausting...your brain goes into overdrive and you will feel awful. Take it slow and take breaks or you will become overloaded and make yourself more ill...that is what happened to me. Usually once you start...more things you didn't realize were keeping you stuck are now in the forfront of your brain instead of being buried.....like a pandoras box.....hence my name. I wish you only the best as you continue on with your healing . Take care,
